About

This is the blog of Alan Baird, the Chief Social Work Adviser to the Scottish Government, previously Director of Social Work, Dundee City Council and past President of ADSW.

I spend a lot of my time visiting and talking to many individuals, teams and services across the local authorities, voluntary and private sectors to see at first hand the passion, energy and drive of many dedicated staff but importantly to begin to talk about what improvements the sector can make which will further improve the quality of services provided to individuals and families.

I want to share these conversations and get us all talking social services.
